Furniture Row Racing driver Kurt Busch threw a perfect strike during the ceremonial first pitch prior to Wednesdays MLB game between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. Busch, a rabid baseball fan, trotted to the Coors Field pitching mound wearing a #78 Rockies/Furniture Row jersey, then took a short windup and hurled a fastball over the center of the plate. The visit to the Rockies game was part of a four-day Denver blitz for Busch, who his in first full season driving for the Colorado-based NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team. Along with attending the Rockies game, Busch paid a visit to local media outlets, conducted an autograph session for Furniture Row at its Oak Express store, played in a charity golf tournament that benefitted the Armed Forces Foundation and took part in a television commercial shoot for future Furniture Row/Denver Mattress promotions. His Denver week will culminate Thursday as a VIP guest to the Denver Broncos training camp.(see more and an inage at Furniture Row Racings Facebook )
